  • This video I'll show you how I recovered inexpensive lampshades I bought at a hotel liquidator with cane AKA rattan. These shades are huge so I have to apply the rattan/cane in four pieces. Watch until the end to find out the most important step in the process that I did NOT do.

    Gorgeous!! Next time I see a lamp with a really ugly shade in a thrift shop I’ll have to do this!

    I love this so much. I just did a pleated lampshade and have to try this next.

      Thanks Amber. I'm itching to do pleated lampshades... I have two in mind, just need to find the right fabric.

    So glad I found this video, as I'm dying to cover a large shade in rattan! But, having trouble finding a large enough shade for my floor lamp. I need one that is 20" bottom, 13" top, and 12" High. Can you please recommend a source for large shades? Many thanks, and keep making your fantastic DIY videos!!!

      I don’t have a good source. I bought mine at a hotel liquidator here in Tampa.

    Great video. Thank you for posting it. Can you let me know where I can get the trim? And what is the trim called please?

      I bought the trim at franks cane supply in California. They ship nationwide. It’s called spline.

    Hi! Could you use spray adhesive instead of hot glue?

    • @MimzyandCompany
      @MimzyandCompany  2 роки тому

      Hi Jency!!! You can use spray adhesive for fabric but not for cane webbing because the cane is too stiff and it rolls up unless the glue has instant holding power. I tried it...and I also tried using gorilla glue but only hot glue holds the cane. How are you???

      mimzy & company I’m doing great…just to clarify…this is Jency the daughter😀. But mom is doing well also! That totally makes sense with the cane. I have a couple lamps I still want to use but would love to add some texture to the shades. I would love seagrass but don’t really want to pay the money that they seem to cost and thought this really looks like it could add the texture also. Thanks for the quick reply and hope you and all of yours are well too!

      @@jencybonham5939 Ah! Well tell your mom and dad Hi. You could use burlap fabric with spray adhesive...I've seen that and it looks very much like cane.
